A short time ago he had an alternator replacement. He had to take out the drive shaft. Here a bit of gear oil ran out. A short time later it started that I sometimes could not get the reverse gear, the first gear or even occasionally the second gear. Now I ask myself is the clutch worn (131000) or is there perhaps too little gear oil in it? How can I control the oil level, I think under the battery holder you can refill gear oil (which?), right? Who k ann da help, thank you in advance says Jürgen

Is there something you know about this topic? mine only has 1,300 km down, so it is still in the drive-in phase. that’s why I didn’t think much about it, because it is subjectively less accelerated than shortly after the new acquisition. so it is acceptable, but not as “krass” (lively) as it was at the beginning, which is especially evident when comparing with others. I have explained this so far with the habit of getting used to the vehicle, which is actually also logical. but now I have read the following article, which reports problems with the soot particle filters, which saab is already well known and can meet all the vehicles with this machine: http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49073 …that worries me somehow

here I want to express my displeasure about the misconstruction of the steering wheel keys. it is mainly about the loudness-window, which is located (completely illogical) on the right side. there it is estimated 15 to 20cm from the actual loudness-turn-button. now most people sit comfortably in the car, have the left hand permanently on the steering wheel and the right hand at the height of the switch lever. if you want to change the loudness now, the right hand is to turn knob and wigpe is the same long, so that you can save the latter. therefore you have to strive for every loudness correction the whole arm. if the wigpe on the left side would be right, you could easily correct the loudness, which is more common in practice than, for example, a title jump or the transmitter search run (which are on the left wippe). I have looked directly at other manufacturers and there it is arranged differently.

As a 7 year old (70s) on my road, the father of my biggest enemy had a 2002 BMW. Since then I have owned 5 Mercedes out of spite (except 1 Volvo, 1 Saab. 1 Fiat, 1 Alfa) The new 3er is the first BMW I had, since the 850 Coupe. Especially as a combo the car is kind of awesome. Of course, the 93 Sportcombi also feels good for me. However, in order to make the 3er the Saab had to be at least 3-4k Euro cheaper. Because of the quality superiority of BMW and the better engines.

Is the ignition lock at the entrance or when the driving light is switched on illuminated green (i.e. the “OFF-ON-START”? The font is similarly bright as with the switches in the dashboard and the lighting would be helpful; but with me the lock is in perfect darkness at night. Thanks and a nice weekend 🙂

I’m rather dissatisfied with the sound of my audio 150 system. Would you like to replace the rear, weak-bold speakers first. Can someone give me a good tip which I should take? And how do I get the speaker cover without breaking it?

Hello Saab Friends Last Friday I had the opportunity to watch the 9-3 Sport Combi at the Geneva Motor Show. The design is very pleasing. Compared to the 9-5, the cargo space is only slightly smaller. The headroom at the rear is very good. As cargo space adbeckung a rollerau is used, which still shows the speciality that it can be folded for loading.All information and pictures at http://saab.notice.ch Heading 9-3 Sport Combi Gruss noticehttp://saab.notice.ch

Hello, my new Saab 9-3 Vector 1.8t Step1 (delivery date 02/05) will also have business package with integrated phone. There is also a Bluetooth interface integrated. Can one transfer the address book of the mobile phone (I have T610) to the address book of the car using Bluetooth? Greeting to all tbony2k

Hey, a few months ago I started a thread about the quality of the (me) standard (I could also say “expensive” summer tire Pirelli P Zero Rosso in the size 225/45 R 17. The things were finished after 20 Tkm, although I ride civilian. Also extremely uncomfortable. Now I raised new summer tires last week – Dunlop SP 9000, the same dimension as above. The things are really great! Good handling, very quiet and not as hard as the Pirelli-Dinger. So I can only recommend. On a rental car I also drove Conti Sportcontact – were also not bad and cost in about the same (about 150 Eur)……….

Hello together, recently I acquired a YS3F MJ 2007 as 1.8t. After recent research I found that apparently all have the same engine. Therefore the question of what is the difference of the 3 variants. Bzw maybe also how I can upgrade a 1.8t to a 2.0T. Other loader? Charging air cooler? ECU? What is the difference? The transmission also seems to be different, because Vmax varies between 210/225/235 km/h. Verbated is a 5-speed switch with 210 km/h. I still have a 6-speed gearbox switch from a YS3F 2.8 V6 MJ 2006 with Vmax 250km/h. Does that fit? Drive shafts are the same (different from the YS3D gearbox comparison 2.0i and 2.0T).
